The voice acting was really great and kept me invested in completing the game.

This is really an interesting game, and you really want to know the next part of the story !

I had fun playing it =). As meta-link said, I tather hold the lmb to draw, but once I got the hang of it I could play smoothly.\nThe Audio was really well placed, the ambient sound (I heard brazillian chatter?) was soothing and so the voice acting.\n\nGreat job","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Joskineide","author_uid":"1040460","time":"2017-08-02T21:37:00Z","epoch":1501709820,"modified":1501709820,"text":"I found it a bit dificult to get used to the drawing mechanic, specially since you had to click to \"switch between modes\", seemed as it would be more intuitive to draw while the mouse button is down.\nBoth the artistic aspect of the game abd the voice acting were really well made.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"dos","author_uid":1008146,"time":"2017-08-03T12:00:19Z","epoch":1501761619,"modified":1501766376,"text":"Just a word of explanation - during the development of this game I had access only to a laptop's touchpad, and it was almost impossible to play\/test when I had the \"hold to draw\" mechanic, so I've changed it.

Not that I saw too many entries with it, but still. :D The gameplay was an interesting idea to the overall concept, although a bit laggy on my potato laptop, which made it unnecessarily hard. Funnily enough, only the drawing recognition part was freezing from time to time, once\/twice per drawing phase, was perfectly smooth aside from that. But I know that jams don't allow you to optimize the code as much as you'd want to, so this's more of a future reference in case you decide to expand on the concept and make a bigger game out of it. Cheers for using Allegro btw. Good luck and well done!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Eremiell","author_uid":"1034405","time":"2017-08-08T17:17:14Z","epoch":1502212634,"modified":1502212634,"text":"Was impossible on PC, but finished it on my Android device.
